Why MYSTERIES? Because that is the genre I read. Why PARADISE? Because that is where I live.
Among other things, this blog, the result of a 2008 New Year's resolution, will act as a record of books that I've read, and random thoughts.

Join the Alphabet in Crime Fiction CommunityMeme.Tomorrow my blog will feature the invitation for the letter K. Today see the contributions for the letter J.Another way to get people to visit your blog, and also to meet some new crime fiction bloggers.In the last week we had 10 contributions so it is becoming a great way to see recommendations for new crime fiction titles and authors.We don't mind if you recycle a review you've already written or just contribute occasionally.

I'm running a feature called Suggest a Christmas Title.So far we have 30 suggestions.You can participate in this whether you are a crime fiction blogger or not.What you'll need to do is write a blog post about a book that some how features Christmas. Lots of people I know like to take advantage of the season by reading a book that is set at Christmas or is about Christmas in some way.In your blog post you can suggest several books or just focus on one. I'm using a Mr Linky so you can come back to link to more than one of your posts if you like.
